I'm currently trying to find way to work around it. I'm hoping to get scans of the hood and engine bay and work alongside my brother who is also an engineer to model some vent options.

I won't be wrapping the trunk. I like the look of the exposed carbon a lot. With all the other existing carbon visible, it wouldn't be fair to Joel's craftsmanship. I have no idea what I will do with the bumper once I do get a carbon hood though.
That's a shame the hood won't work out for you. Too bad he couldn't make a modified version for you with a shorter vent up front. The option with your brother sounds promising though!

I understand that about not wanting to hide the carbon. I think once you have the roof on it will look more even.

Your build is coming out great. Do you have any side profile pics with that trunk on it?



Also, where did you get the custom badges made?
